An investigation into a dead woman begins when a military contractor, Lex Walker (Craig Fairbrass), arrives in Los Angeles and finds the body is not his daughter Samantha's, whom he has not seen for many years. He begins a one-man investigation into her whereabouts, trailed by the suspicious detective (Jason Patric) assigned to the case. He soon makes his way to Samantha's boss, Karl Schuster (James Caan), the millionaire CEO of a high-tech company who offers sympathy but little help. It quickly becomes obvious that Schuster is hiding something, since he displays no hesitation about shooting one of his henchmen to death in his own office. Aided by a barmaid (Shannon Elizabeth), enticed by his offer of a $10,000 finder's fee, the take-no-prisoners Walker sets out to get to the bottom of the mystery, beating up or shooting the myriad human obstacles who get in his way. It all leads to his discovery of a massive identity-theft scheme engineered by Schuster about which Lex's very much alive daughter (Melissa Ordway) has the goods.
In July 2014, star Craig Fairbrass and director Brian Miller sued the film's producers, including both their managers, for non-payment of deferred fees.[1]
